CEQ 012810
Internal Background and Q's & A's on CEl's Petition on the Climate Action Report
5/13/03

Background

• The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CED has petitioned EPA under EPA's
Infonnation Quality Guidelines to stop dissemination of the 2002 Climate Action
Report (CAR), a State Department document that is posted on EPA's website. In
a May 16 letter to CEl, EPA is responding that under the Agency's Infonnation
Quality Guidelines, it is not the appropriate agency to respond to the petition.
Subsequently, EPA is infonning the petitioner that the Agency is providing the
petitioner's request to the State Department for its information.

• CEl objects to references in the CAR to a separate report-the National


Assessment on Climate Change (National Assessment). The National Assessment
IS;

o A summary of U.S. regional vulnerability to potential climate change


impacts for the next 25 to 100 years, based largely upon two models
whose projections were contradictory.
o A report required under "The Global Change Research Act of 1990"
o Produced by the National Assessment Synthesis Team (a FACA
Committee) ~ .. ~

• In addition to its petition to EPA to stop dissemination of the CAR, CEl has also
petitioned NOAA and OSTP to stop dissemination of the National Assessment.
Both NOAA and OSTP have denied the petitions.
